Xero

My arms were wrapped around Sojin's waist when I woke up early that morning. I pushed my face into her neck and talked quietly onto her skin after a few moments.
"Sojin, can I tell you something?"
She hummed, signaling me to go on.
I carefully rolled her off of her side and onto her back, then lifted my self over her, where she looked up at me. I leaned in to push our lips together where we shared a strong kiss, then continued kissing along her jawline. I pulled myself away from her, and looked into her eyes. "I know there's a lot on your mind... If you want to keep us a secret until you figure things out, that's okay. Even if you don't want to see me after this. But remember no matter the outcome, I will always be your friend." I ran my fingers through her hair, brushing it behind her ear. My voice was tired from just waking up, but I knew I wouldn't feel better if I hadn't said that to her. It looked like she didn't get much sleep. Her mind was racing too.
She nodded and mumbled. "Nae..."
I plopped back beside her staring at the ceiling for a brief moment, and took her hand to my stomach, interlacing our fingers together, then looked back to her. "For old times sake, today let's go out. I made plans with my friends at the cafe down the street."
"Okay..."
I pecked her cheek and smiled. "Today, lets for get about all of this drama, like none of this happened and have a good time. Just for one day, to clear our minds."
She vocaled a soft chuckle, nodding her head. "Do we bring Changjo and Namjoo?"
"If they want to come, sure, why not?"
For the first time in a long time, I saw her smile, and it warmed my heart.

I got up and reached for my phone, texting Jenissi.

>cafe today? At 2!<
>yup, me, you, hansol, and a-tom<
>... And Sojin, Changjo and Namjoo.<
>ooooooh?? im cool with that!<
>hyung, please try and give Sojin a good time today... I just want her to relax for once...<
>ofc, will do! see you later!<

I re-read the text Namjoo had said to me, and finally replied.

>Thanks for telling me this. I understand... uhm... Do you want to go to the cafe down the street today? You, changjo, sojin, me and a couple of friends?<
She replied pretty quick. >Sure, changjo and me will go.<


The Cafe. Noones POV

Xero's friends were already settled at a table when Sojin and him arrived. They approached them and took a seat, where Sojin sat across from Xero.
"Uh, Sojin this is Jenissi, Hansol, and A-Tom." Xero said, quickly pointing to each of them when he got to their name.
"Hi." She waved, smiling to them. "We've met before, a few times."
"Yup!" Jenissi agreed, sipping through the straw of his drink.
Hansol flicked his hand as he began to speak. "Sojin, you stole our precious Xero! We haven't seen him in years!" He joked. "How have you been lately?"
She chuckled. "I'm fine. How are you guys?"
"Good! You want something to from the menu? Come with me, I will pay." Jenissi said.
"No I can pay." She quickly said.
"Nope! I insist!" He pushed her from the circled booth where she has laughed and they headed towards the cashier, waiting in line.
